Mountain Pose

June 26, 2014.  The ride from the east entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park through the park via Trail Ridge Road to the altitude of 12,005 feet is one of the most magnificent drives I've ever experienced. Most of the times that I've gone to the mountain top, I've driven by myself. This time I shared the experience with Cathy, and her children, Jamisen and Audrey. The three of them had never been to the mountains, so this time I was both humble participant and guide. For nearly a year I've been practicing yoga. It seemed appropriate to do a version of the mountain pose across from the visitor center at the top of the mountain. The drive up was magnificent, including a series of cascades running down the mountainside.
